Interest in Amateur Radio and radio in general began during my high school years. I was first licensed in 1973 as WN1RYW later becoming ND1Q in 1986 with a call change to K1PJS in 2009. Like many hams, Amateur Radio has provided a gateway to the field of electronics and ultimately to an occupation in Broadcast Engineering, employed by Saga Communications Inc, as Director of Engineering / IT for stations WZID, WMLL and historic WFEA in Manchester. I also serve as President of NH Gospel Radio Inc. with stations WVNH in Concord and WANH in Meredith.

In personal operating time you may find me engaged in nightly 80 meter CW traffic or receiving the latest information via FLDIGI during an ARES exercise. I am a Volunteer Examiner and enjoy sharing with the public the many facets of the hobby.

Although CW is my mode of choice all modes are enjoyed. My interest in Amateur Radio and radio in general extends to its history including that of the ARRL and the many pioneers that labored before us.
